All the right non fancy Ingredients that makes for one fancy Dip. Love the smoky taste that the bacon adds. I served ours with baked wontons. But I think that some toasted baguette bread would have been a better choice. Its a little heavier in texture so you want to use a sturdier type of cracker. I made the recipe as is. This one certainly will fit anyone's entertaining menu*Janie Taste of Home Volunteer Field Editor

It was a favorite at the potluck...... however I found it to be a bit salty and it to be just like a stroganoff sauce....Good just different

Good hot. Make just before serving. I had to add chicken stock to thin it out because I left it on the stove too long. I also made it with low fat cream cheese and sour cream - still great!
